We have a newborn at home and we’re going to hire the same Doula as with our first to help with him because he’s having sleep troubles. She asked if we were vaccinated and when we said yes, she said she cannot help us because she cannot be around vaccinated people for health reasons. My wife inquired more and she said her nurse friends are talking about getting headaches and having abnormal cycles when they are with people who received the experimental vaccine. First I heard of this conspiracy ugh… misinformation everywhere..
That's weird. I mean, really, really weird.
I know in some that medical and teaching fields are generally anti-vax (naturopathic and Chiro, for example, some massage people, some midwives, and a lot of teachers) but I didn't know it existed with a doula, though I had no idea they would help with afterbirth stuff either.
I know with teachers, many believe that it can affect getting pregnant, though no evidence of that. Naturopathic and chiro's is pretty obvious why they're against it.
I frankly disagree with referring to Naturopaths as "in the medical field"...as far as I understand they are snake oil salespeople. At the most extreme level of generosity you could call them "wellness", but not medical. There is admittedly significant grey area in the medical field between medical and practitioners like massage therapists and chiropractors, but Naturopaths are firmly outside the medical realm for me.
Leaving that aside, I've definitely heard the "I'm afraid of vaccinated people" garbage before. There was a story about a school down in ... you guessed it ... Florida a while back. I cynically suspect this strategy is intentional. When it comes to cult like things...even some religions...there is an explicit strategy of segregating individuals from the general public. This would be an effective way of achieving that. People who are vaccinated are an effective in convincing people to get vaccinated, which is an anti-goal of the antivaxxers...no matter how much they protest they pretend to support freedom of choice.
